Need Help To Upgrade My Existing PC

Bhumick
Hello, friends, I purchased a PC on 21 April 2014 for gaming purpose. It has been 3 years since I purchased any new part for my PC and now gaming is a bit on medium to high settings on most games with most of the demanding settings turned off.I do not want to buy a new system just upgrade the existing one so I can play upcoming games on PC in future years to come without any problem.Budget is an issue I do not want super ends parts for the PC, budget friendly parts will be ok as I am only want to game on a 1080p display.My budget is around 45000 INR. No, I do not have a 1080p monitor I am going to buy one but not from any online shopping site but from the local retailer as they provide better rates.

My Current Build Specification is as following:-
1-Motherboard: Asus H97M-E
2-Processor: Intel i7-4770k @3.50GHz
3-RAM: Corsair XMS3 — 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600MHz Memory Kit (clocked at 1333MHz)
4-Graphics Card: Zotac GTX 660 Ti
5-Prcessor Cooler: Deepcool GAMMAXX 400
6-PSU: Corsair VS 650
7-Storage: 1- 500GB Western Digital Blue 5400 Rpm Harddrive
2- Transcend SATA III 6Gb/s SSD370 (Capacity:256GB)
8-Cabinet: Antec V1 ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Blue
9-Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster B2030 (900p Display)
10-Peripheral Devices: 1-Dell Multimedia Keyboard and Mouse
2-Xbox 360 Wired Controller


This is my PC specification friends do tell me which parts to upgrade for a better gaming experience overall and one more thing friends I live in India so most of the companies related to computer parts are available in my city but some companies are still not available in the city. Thanking for helping me in advance.
 
Some More Things I wanted To Add:-
 
1- I was thinking to buy a GPU which has least 4-6gb of Memory for future proofing(like GTZ 1060 or RX 480 or Rx 580 4gb variant).
2- I was thinking to buy a monitor at a PRICE point of around 10-15 thousand( either benq or asus).
3- When I use XMP mode in my motherboard my RAM runs at 1600MHz but without XMP it runs at 1333MHZ.
4- Apart from all this I am also thinking of upgrading my cabinet (either a Corsair or Coolermaster).
your suggestions will be greatly appreciated thanks  for replying in advance
I am also adding some photos related to my PC specs if you need it.

now we have 19k left you have a strong CPU no need to upgrade we have to get an OC mobo to Overclock your cpu so you can get it for like 8 or 9k as per the market now we can estimate it as 9k now 10k is left as you have 16 gigs of ram invest 4k for more 8gb and with left money is 6k get a better PSU

While AMD cards are generally more expensive in India, you should be able to fit in a RX 580 8GB + FreeSync monitor + Seasonic S12II 520 into that budget.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Get a better GPU like GTX 1060 6GB

Get a better PSU (Corsair VS is really bad)
Other parts looks good enough.

No reason to get more ram.  16Gb is plenty. 

 

I think with just a monitor and a new gpu you would notice a difference.  I would try those two and see how the system runs before spending more money.  After that I would put a new psu next and a new motherboard for overclocking after that.  Your power supply isnt great, but its not horrible.  if you dont plan on overclocking there would be no reason to upgrade it unless you went for something like a 1070 or 1080.

Couldn't quite get the 580 in there too, it's 10k more than a 570 and would put it over budget but anyhow

Can't trust PCPP India for some reason since the Seasonic S12II 520 is listed for around 5000R on Amazon India IIRC.

In that case it fits, though I'm not 100% sure if it's worth paying 30-40% more to go to a 480

True, especially when a GTX 1070 can be had for a bit more. The prices are absurd to say the least.

Thanks to everyone for replying to my query especially killer5247 but as I said earlier I am going to buy from a local shop as prices of local shops are less than that of these online retailers but thanks to everyone for providing helpful suggestions. If anyone has more suggestions please do reply I will also update you guys about which part I am going to choice and which components are readily available around my city.

Get yourself an RX480 or GTX 1060. It'll be a good upgrade. :)

Hello friends need suggestions and opinion about its motherboard by MSI-Z97A GAMING 9 ACK

Link-https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/Z97A-GAMING-9-ACK.html#hero-overview

Tell me will it be a good motherboard to upgrade from gaming and has anyone used it.

Thanks for the reply in advance.

I wouldn't suggest you change you motherboard. The cpu is quite good with the one you have already (you can even get a 5th generation CPU in there, but no need for now), maximum RAM is same for both mobos (the MSI does offer you the chance to put faster RAM, but there is no point for you to spend money on RAM right now) and generally they offer the same slots.

You should instead invest your money on a better GPU and, if necessary, a better PSU, maybe an M.2 SSD, and whatever monitor you wanna spend on. If , in the end you have money left, you could improve the system cooling (if needed), get a mechanical keyboard (if you don't have one) or max your RAM (just try to get the same speed and size configuration, if possible the same cards).
